Well, I guess I need one of those numbers. What an awesome instrument!

OK, I have more than a few problems, but one of them is that straps must coordinate with the bass. Yes, I have one for each bass. Some of you will understand and others will not. Having said that, I am trying to decide which strap to use with my 4003W. Black doesn't seem right and the brown ones I have don't either. Brown would seem to make sense, but the Ric is not a reddish brown and the leather colors don't work for me. White could work, but not sure about that. I found a company that says they made Lemmy's and one can be purchased for several hundred dollars. Yes, I have come close to buying it. Yes, the photos make it look sweet. No, I don't want to spend that much on a strap. So, I am curious, for those that are into coordinating such things, which strap did you decide on?

Welcome... It's good to see more folks in this club.

In seeing this, I wondered, "How is it possible that there are only 20 folks with these marvelous instruments?" I mean, seriously. Fit, finish, sound, and the list goes on.
Love my W. I have a SBL strap coming that I bought in hopes of improved comfort but it looks to be a half-split combo of black and brown, so hopefully it'll look great with the Ric as well.
